I am going to say it was Watchmaker and he is a site sponsor, not sure where he has been but gone for a while now !! :dunno:

Don't know if I would call him a nut but a flashlight fanatic forsure !! :chuckle:

Post by: DeKuma on June 04, 2008, 08:59:07 AM: Yep, that was him! Wonder what happened to him? All of his posts are gone too?

Certainly did not mean it in a negative in anyway. He was a wealth of information and had some awesome lights!!
Title: Re: how much would you spend for a flashlight??
Post by: addicted on June 04, 2008, 09:53:29 AM: yeah he had a very informative thread going on. it was a few pages long and nothing but his own flashlight knowledge.
Title: Re: how much would you spend for a flashlight??
Post by: Skyvalhunter on June 04, 2008, 10:07:15 AM: I said "nut" in a facetious way. He had alot of info and did lots of testing from what I recall.
Title: Re: how much would you spend for a flashlight??
Post by: addicted on June 04, 2008, 10:10:05 AM: yeah he had that mount set up in his yard at 50 ft so he could show the difference in brightness between lights. the light i first posted better shoot it and skin it for that price.
